Hello. I had found this insect a while back in Westerly, RI, I haven't seen one like this for years now, and when I had seen it before, it was only for a week or two and it disappeared until the next year, This bug I have now is the forth time I have ever seen it. It is about three inches long, Shades of a light brown, has four wings, two sit above the bottom two. The wings are just longer than two inches and almost an inch thick. It has a neck of one centimeter long and almost as wide. The head is the size of a dime and almost flat. Two eyes are bulging out of the side. It had two intennors of two inches long coming out from right above the eyes. The body is just over half an inch long with three equally spaced legs on each side coming from the middle of the body, each with four joints, the first just larger than one cm. long. It also has a tail slightly thicker than a dragonfly, but it's the only 3/4" long. Everyone I have shown it to has never seen anything like it. Help me, Thanks.
